Man, is this one of the greatest eras for fighting game fans, like, ever? It might be, considering Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is coming in September and then, in 2025, it will be followed by another gem: Capcom Fighting Collection 2. The game was revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase and it promising eight classic Capcom fighters in one package. Take a look:

Recently, Resident Evil legend and former Capcom employee Shinji Mikami made it pretty clear that there was no room in the modern gaming era for a Dino Crisis renewal. This is despite the fact that it’s the most-wanted Capcom revival that fans are after. Given this, it’s not surprising that people are deciding to forge their own path instead.

Princess Zelda Sword Form unveiled. In June, Nintendo surprised fans with another installment of the beloved The Legend of Zelda franchise on the Nintendo Switchyear. Most players would assume things have dialed way back as Nintendo prepares to introduce the world to its next big console hardware. Now, we’re still waiting for that announcement to happen, but September will see the release of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom to keep you dialed in on your Switch a bit longer.

The Trails series features one of the most expansive and ambitious stories in all of video games. Since 2004, Trails has released twelve games, with each game building off the previous ones and telling a single continuous story. For years, one of the biggest questions around Trails has been how newcomers should pick up the series, and while the very first game, Trails in the Sky, is undoubtedly the best starting point, it’s dated and not the easiest to access with modern consoles. That’s about to change. The latest Nintendo Direct announced a gorgeous remake called Trails in the Sky the 1st, but it looks like it could be a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and the game’s situation is a little complicated.

It's been more than four decades since former child star William “Billie” Thomas Jr. died in Los Angeles of a heart attack at only 49 on October 10, 1980. Best known as "Buckwheat," the character he portrayed in the original Hal Roach-ignited Our Gang/Little Rascals classic film shorts from 1934 to 1944, Thomas faced similar challenges and misfortunes of several of his co-stars and other former child actors. This is his story.

Since the surprise release of Castlevania Advance Collection I’ve had the question “are we getting a port of the DS titles?” sitting in the back of my mind and surfacing to the forefront every time a Nintendo Direct aired. Of course bringing the DS titles across to the Switch wouldn’t be as simple a task, so it is perhaps understandable that it’s taken three years for Castlevania Dominus Collection to finally make it onto the system. However, now that it’s finally here, the end result is more than worth the wait.

There must be at least a few retro gamers with lingering nostalgia for the Atari 7800. The modern-day Atari is betting there are. The company’s Gamescom 2024 follow-up to last year’s landmark 2600+ is not the beleaguered 5200 but 1986’s Atari 7800. Just like its previous recreation console, the new 7800+ can play your attic’s worth of dusty cartridges for the near-40-year-old console, but it has the added benefit of wireless controllers and extra-backward compatibility with 2600 games.

Nintendo's Zelda timeline was always a point of contention and discussion up until Nintendo released an official overview of events. With that, it was revealed that the Zelda games actually split off into three separate timelines due to how events played out in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Can I gush for a little bit here? One of my absolute favorite recent indie games is Wildermyth, a title that seeks to replicate the experience of tabletop roleplaying in a slick, easy-to-use format. Coming out a few years ago, Wildermyth offered players the opportunity to go through campaigns that spanned decades of in-game time in which your characters would make life-changing decisions, grow into legends, age, have kids, and even retire or die. It’s really amazing and one of the most fun gaming experiences I’ve had in the 2020s.
